Have a rec for citing credible sources.

As one of your links said, the history of contraception in Latin America is complex. There is a cultural element, for sure. I don't know the present status tying it to US aid, but I can remember twenty or thirty years ago that there was a lot of consternation on the part of Reps that US aid would include contraception and the education to use it. I haven't heard anything about that lately, so maybe that roadblock has died down. I'm sure the missionaries continue to preach that, but that's not governmental, so of no concern to me (i.e. missionaries can preach whatever they like as long as the local government allows it).
